  In 2009 at a time when management needed capital injection to activate the factory to provide jobs for local farmers and youth, the then Minister Trade and Industry, Hannah Tetteh stormed the place and expressed her dissatisfaction with the state of the factory. Three years after she made the promise, the spoilt vacuum pump has not been repaired or replaced.
  
  OPEN UP HER BELLY. THIS WHALE HAS SWALLOWED THE JONAH(DI MOPNEY). THE PPL IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY NEED THE JOBSA. APPEAL TO THESE RICH SOCCER PLAYERS LIKE MUNTARI, THE AYEWS, WAKASSO ETC TO BUY THIS FACTORY. INIESTA OWNS A WINERY IN SPAIN THAT EMPLOYS THOUSANDS ON PPL.

  Management should live up to the task and hold the BULL by the HORN and stop behaving like spoilt children. They should go out and source for loan(s) to work with locally or internationally and stop wasting our time!!!

  if private nothing you can do but offer to buy out...If gov owned sack the management! Why can't pumps be replaced or rebuilt? If need be bring in foreign management (usa,uk or even China)

  Dan:
  
  I have only read the comments, but what's wrong with our institutions?
  
  Are students in any of the Polytechs or even KNUST given practical research assignments to work on something like this?
  
  We are useless.

  Oh Dan you are right. Our Polytechnics and KNUST are being under utilised. Hmmm, the factory can be brought back if management can fall on KNUST or any of the Polys. Oh Ghana!!!

  We want everything from the gov't. This is insane. The whole management has to be replaced. It is a pity.

  Truly the coup of February,1966 and those which followed have done incalculable damage to the industrial and economic advancement of the nation.The Pwalugu Tomato Factory is a typical example of what has happened to the numerous factories Osagyefo established.Truly the 'Dark Days' Osagyefo said Ghana was in when he was in Guinea is still with us. We produce tomatoes in huge quantities in the country and still we import raw and processed tomatoes.This is truly 'madness'.

  It is very disheartening to read these stories. maintenance has been a cancacnworm and must be key strategy for all managers. Where are the Italian Partners who saw to the revamping of the factory? can't they help out?
